When did.....

~ Freedom change from something we should all be seeking to something we're supposed to be terrified to face without the government holding our hands?

~ Sticking to the Constitution and living within our means become "extremism?"

~ It became okay to sue a company because some moron knowingly did something dangerous with the company’s product and hurt himself? That's not negligence; it's Darwinism at work.

I finally read your link and liked all of it but especially liked number 12 since I am so old fashioned. I do think that more people need to look at the link, but your title isn't good enough to suck most people in. Also, too many think it is right oriented or left oriented, depending on who it is.

Anyway it seems to me that number 12 has changed from progressive thinking.

Yes, I agree. #12 is about all I agree with on the list. Marriage went from something that was to last forever to something that was temporary and can be entered into and dissolved as long as people have enough money to pony up for a quick divorce. I even hear young people who are engaged say things like "well when it doesn't work out, we'll just get divorced." I guess people like marriage so much that they want to do it over and over again.

Other than that, the guy lost me with #2 which like most other items on his list just doesn't make any sense.
